Gourmet BBQ Sauce Recipe

A delicious BBQ sauce is the perfect partner to BBQ’d meat. How do you like your bbq sauce? Southern style? Texas inspired? Thai flavoured? Or with a touch of tequila? There are so many options to discover, whether it’s smoky aromas, or with lots of molasses, sweet, spicy, tangy, bold or subtle. Luckily the Victorian Golden Roast catering team is here to help you find the perfect sauce. Here’s our one of our current popular BBQ sauce recipes plus a list of our tried and tested flavour variations – all certified Tasty by the Victorian Golden Roast team.

Heat oil in a sauce pan and add red onion and cook gently until softened

Add remaining ingredients, season and bring to boil and then reduce to simmer for 20-30 minutes until thickened.

Taste and add more chillies if wanting a hotter sauce

If wanting a smooth style sauce blend with a stick blender.

This sauce is great to baste chicken drumsticks during cooking, or use as a classic bbq sauce, or also as a tasty dipping sauce for anything barbecued. We’ve even used it at home cold as a replacement for tomato ketchup when making a sauce for prawn cocktail. Yum!
